Commerce Commerce 1.x Modules & Extensions Taxes TaxJar
Added in Commerce 0.3, the TaxJar module provides an integration with the TaxJar API for fully automated and highly accurate US Sales Tax calculations.
To access the TaxJar API, a Professional account is needed starting at $99 per month. In return, you don’t have to worry about figuring out appropriate destination and sender based sales tax rates.
When enabling the TaxJar module, it will be available as a Rate Provider for your Tax Rules.
